Episode 49 - Integrating Your Dark Side - Alan Watts on Carl Jung

Today's episode takes us on a journey inward. The brothers and special guest Chris listen to a lecture given by Alan Watts who talks about Carl Jung's ideas on good and evil and about how to integrate the dark and light within yourself. Before we get into the lecture, Drew shares a video about the high tech that Lockheed has and we discuss it's similarities to our 38 DIRDs episode. After that we get our weekly dose of Bashar who talks about the concept of a soul agreement. That leads us into discussing a recent episode of Jesse Michel's American Alchemist where Jesse interviews Rizwan Virk and discusses the idea of simulation theory. We talk with Chris a bit about his new YouTube channel in the works and his idea to document the process of creating a game from scratch.

As we get into the main lecture, we allow Alan Watts to take us on a profound journey of understanding the nature of good and evil. He points out that much evil in the world comes from people lashing out at the evil they see around them in an attempt to deny that they have that same tendency within themselves. He talks about Carl Jung's personality and his ability to feel the negativity within himself without condemning it. He talks about good and evil being parts of a unified whole and the need to be able to see and accept evil without condoning it and how the two define each other. He also talks about egoism and discusses an interesting idea called enantiodromia which is the tendency for one extreme to turn into another. It's a fascinating talk and it sparks interesting discussion. We hope you enjoy and connect with this episode!
